Moxibustion is a treatment where the skin or acupuncture point is heated by burning the herb, Mugwort (Artemisia Vulgaris).
As it burns, it creates a warming sensation that affects the flow of Qi and blood. Most patients find this extremely relaxing. I use a special smokeless form of moxa in the shape of a small cone that fits on top of the acupuncture needle or stick that is held close to the skin.
